Looks OK to me except I don't like the
        if (something) {
                one-line-of-code();
        }
constructs, but according to style(9) these are sort-of OK, viz

     Closing and opening braces go on the same line as the else.  Braces that
     are not necessary may be left out.
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
             if (test)
                     stmt;
             else if (bar) {
                     stmt;
                     stmt;
             } else
                     stmt;

Saved by the "may."

True, but some folks (me included) really hate it, when different
bracing is used *within* the same statement. The example above really is
horrible. If one if/else-if clause needs braces, just brace them all. This
loses no vertical space (the dangling else excluded) and some folks find
it visually more pleasing/easier to read.

... hence begins the bikeshedding.

"Green"

My personal preference is that if one clause requires braces,
they all get them so you would never see

"else {"

or

"} else"

just
"else"
or
"} else {"

I just find it helps keep everything correctly associated when reading.
